Boshek premium leather watch straps

 

Confusion resolved on how to select the correct Watch Strap

  • With so many look alike its very tough to choose the right watch strap. As a consumer we cannot know if the watch strap is made in artificial leather of real leather. Straps made in real leather last 5 times longer than artificial leather straps also called PU leather.
  • We order straps from online without knowing if it will fit us wrist and watch correctly. A correct fitting watch strap helps you read time easily as your strap does not slip. Also we need to be sure that the watch strap will fit your watch lug or to put it simply watch ends where the strap fits in.
  • Choosing the right leather premium watch strap is a must to achieve a comfortable fit, premium look and long life
  • Watch case size, Watch case lug width, and watch strap length are important factors while choosing your correct watch strap from online or from the local watch dealer

Guide to measure your watch strap size

We will need a ruler, measuring tape and a marker pen. Please follow the steps to measure your strap size:

Step 1: Measure the WATCH CASE END where the strap fits in also called LUG

The lug width is the distance between the two points where the strap connects to the watch case. The most common lug widths range from 18mm to 22mm. LUG is the single most important feature to select the right size as all sellers use this to sell the correct straps to you

Step 2: Determine the Strap Length

The strap length is the distance between the two points where the strap attaches to the watch case.  Measure the distance and add 2 cm to for comfort movement. This measurement is your wrist size.

 

Step 3: Choose the Right Strap Size

Using the LUG width and the strap size you can select many options online from either amazon, Flipkart from our website omaxwatches.in and select BOSHEK premium leather watch straps

Conclusion

Measuring your watch strap size is a simple process to ensure that your strap fits your watch and that you wear it comfortably. Leather watch straps vary in quality with respect to the leather used, the metals used in buckles and the plating done on Buckels. Buy full grain leather straps combined with stainless steel Buckels for the plating to last much longer.
